Itching to do some shopping? In this timely conversation, Kennedy Rizzo & Cooper Lee discuss the growing trend of online shopping and the rise in popularity of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options. They explore the appeal of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) movement, particularly among younger consumers, and compare it to the formerly utilized traditional layaway system. The discussion highlights the risks associated with BNPL, including overspending and shadow debt, while also offering alternatives for smarter financial choices. The CarmApples emphasize the importance of caution and research when considering BNPL options. See ya on the other side!
